    text
    copied!<p>I'm having troubles in accessing both (front and rear cameras at the same time). When turn on one camera it works. When i turn off first and turn on second it works. It gives following exception when i'm trying to turn on second camera while the first one is still showing the image.</p> <pre><code>E/AndroidRuntime(32325): FATAL EXCEPTION: main E/AndroidRuntime(32325): java.lang.RuntimeException: Fail to connect to camera service E/AndroidRuntime(32325): at android.hardware.Camera.native_setup(Native Method) E/AndroidRuntime(32325): at android.hardware.Camera.&lt;init&gt;(Camera.java:265) E/AndroidRuntime(32325): at android.hardware.Camera.open(Camera.java:226) E/AndroidRuntime(32325): at com.example.videostreamer.MainActivity$CameraHandler.start(MainActivity.java:116) E/AndroidRuntime(32325): at com.example.videostreamer.MainActivity$2.onClick(MainActivity.java:74) E/AndroidRuntime(32325): at android.view.View.performClick(View.java:2532) E/AndroidRuntime(32325): at android.widget.CompoundButton.performClick(CompoundButton.java:99) </code></pre> <p>In the documentaion i found a phrase that says:</p> <blockquote> <p>public static Camera open (int cameraId)</p> <p>Since: API Level 9 Creates a new Camera object to access a particular hardware camera. You must call release() when you are done using the camera, otherwise it will remain locked and be unavailable to other applications. <strong>Your application should only have one Camera object active at a time for a particular hardware camera.</strong></p> </blockquote> <p>.. but i'm having only one Camera object for one hardware camera and I wanted to create second object for second device.</p> <ol> <li>Does anybody know if this is possible (I'm using Android 2.3.3)?</li> <li>The place: android.hardware.Camera.native_setup(Native Method) can suggest that probably it is hardware/driver limitation - I'm using HTC Sensation. </li> </ol>
